Blogger: Center Field
Pitched four years for the Philadelphia Athletics, and then played shortstop for seven years for the Montreal Expos. Taught Rickey Henderson to steal a base. Taught Nolan Ryan to throw a punch. Taught Mickey Mantle to drink a beer. Threw one seven-hitter and seven no-hitters. Wonderboy was my creation, and first Jobu shrine was in my locker. Often called "the next Jed Lowrie". Always wear high socks and eyeblack. Prefer to slide headfirst. You can find me blogging about sports at Ladies... with 7 of the coolest ladies around, and also over at Babes Love Baseball with the triumverate of baseball babes.
